Hey...

How did you guys dared the impossible biggrin.gif (... got you this opportunity)? Was it a request directly from AW&ST?

I don't know if AW&ST is available on newstands, I don't recall seeing it. Is it available as reprints (or single issues)? If not, I wonder if arrangements could be made for UMSF members to obtain a copy?

It is hard to find on newsstands, but you may try contacting them via AvWeek website or call to perhaps buy one. If desired, do so quickly before they are out of print. Cover price is $6.

Also, almost every public library in the US has a subscription. Go check it out !!

Got mine in the mail and its stunning. You will love the magazine layout and reproduction. Totally different from the online version.

Also, be sure to read Craigs much longer Mars Rover article from 1 year ago in Nov 2004. Titled "The Real Martians". A must have with the "Lion King Panorama" from Cornell on the cover.

Congrats for this outstanding achievement.
If I may repeat something from an earlier post (bad, bad habit, but just this once..) my ideal would be that the testbed-rover will find its final place one day in the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum with your many terrific pans in a multimedia display behind it.

Nico,

That is one fantastic issue, 2 outstanding stories on space exploration. A collectors edition for sure

your image in that issue, highlighting the crater rims, was incredibly beautiful and an inspiration

and Craig Covault's stunning cover package on the Space Shuttle Return to Flight

I like the fact it's the same magazine. The same people, from the same forum.

Hopefully more teamwork will follow. There's plenty of data blink.gif

Go UMSF (I'm starting to sound like a cheerleader, I know)

Thanks, Ustrax! I want to assure you that we will firmly remain in the forum (we don't leave) and that the cover/article privilege should be spread among all Forum members: as already explained, it would have been impossible without continuous suggestions and encouragement from all you friends (and especially without the MMB tool!!!) wink.gif

PS: what is the "yellow forum"?

Guys,

I just recieved Aviation Week & Space technology with Spirit on the front cover and a 6 page story of Spirit on the summit of Husband Hill with great images.

Congratulations to dilo, djellison, nirgal and mars loon for their cooperation and great images.

At last the recognition for "amateurs" outside the Rover team.

But let us not forget the Rover team who made this possible by publishing all the images made on Mars.

And the next story in AW&ST, "Opportunity navigating around Erebus". smile.gif

What I love about these images is that little bit of artistic liberty that allows them to transcend reality while remaining true to it.

It's a bit like the National Geographic magazine photographer that while photographing nature will employ all kinds of lens filters and special films to capture a truly unique image. Is it completely true to reality, well, no, but is it a lie, again no, just enhanced reality, that little bit extra contrast and colour that elicits from us a powerful and resonant emotional response.

And while NASA, as a science agency, has the responsibility to provide us with the most accurate images they are able to based on the available data, you guys here are not under so heavy restraints, and while you too seek to see mars as it is, you present it to us not in dull matt paper but in super glossy superior grade magazine paper stock.

You're our very own National Geographic photographers on Mars, using your photographic mastery to enchant us with beautiful views from another world.

And while I whole heartedly thank NASA for allowing my daily Mars fix, I whole heartedly thank the forum members for making it (even more) amazing.
